BOGOTÁ, COLOMBIA FOOD & DRINK: CAPITAL COCINA Y CAFE

Published on December 6, 2012August 29, 2020 by jacquelinemhadel5 Comments

This is hands down my favorite restaurant in La Candelaria. This is the very first place that my colleagues brought me upon my arrival. This is the first thing I ate:

Vegetarian Sandwich. So massive and filling, I always have to take half home.

Patacones, appetizer. Dip them in guacamole. Yum!

Juan Pablo Alvarez, owner and chef, behind the bar

Juan was born and raised in Bogota and he’s been living in La Candelaria for over a decade. The current Capital Cocina y Cafe has been opened since January, 2011.
He started his career as a bartender and then he started cooking at home.
He opened his first restaurant seven years ago. However, he only attended a cooking school in Bogota just before starting his current place Capital Cocina y Cafe!
Goal for making menu: it changes everyday.
His perception of food: always try new things.

Salmon Fillete y Fresh Roasted Vegetables

Everybody gets this as a starter: Homemade chips with an addictive dip.

Post-Work Reward: Salmon, Salad, y Potato Balls (and beer, of course)

These two have been around for awhile and I find them to be so beautiful. I don’t know the artist(s). However, I can see that the street artist, Kaye, has put his cyclist and his leopard stencils on top of the female figure above.

BOGOTÁ, COLOMBIA STREET ART: ORFANATO

I’ve been following this mural’s creation since the beginning and on Saturday, I finally caught the crew responsible, in action! The crew is Orfanato, an organization for abused and parentless children. ‘Orfanato’ means ‘orphanage.’
